DD and DH like colored lights.... I like both, but I like white better. This year is going to be all white on the tree along with homemade ornaments (brown paprer), and anything else that is not modern and comercialized. Anyone have suggestions on simple old fashioned ornaments?

BTW for those of you who don't like flashing light (but have family members that do). If you put enough sets of lights on the tree, most with flashers, it looks more like they are twinkeling, rather than flashing. We have used up to 9 or 10 sets of 100 each in past years.

We have enough lights of both kinds on the lawn, house, walls, sheds, bushes, trees, etc to cause the lights in St Augustine to dim when I hit the switch. <G> Nothing inside for the last couple years due to the cat from hades. Even if we were able to manage to put something up at all he would have it torn down within minutes!

I do both. Outside has white lights and inside have one tree with all white ligts and then 1 with colored. Melissa, at least your crew voice an opinion. Mine just sit on the couch and say ok looks good.
